How do you remove the front wheel bearing after you remove the caliper, rotor ansd axle nut.

It does not appear as there is a bearing housing that comes off.

You have to remove the entire spindle from the strut and the lower control arm. Then you will have to press the bearing out/in, plus you will have to remove part of the bearing race that will be stuck on the axle hub when it is pressed out.

These bearing are NOT an easy bolt on.

You will need to buy a new: bearing, axle nut, lower ball joint 'pinch bolt' and a new seal for behind the bearing.
